Contracts expiring - who stays and who goes?

[beswetherick]

According to the Star, we have 11 players out of contract at the end of the season. Who would you keep and who would you release?
 

1. Wildsmith - release
2. Brennan - keep, 2-3 year deal
3. Dunkley - keep, 1 year with an extension 
4. Hutchinson - keep, but only as a player-coach if he wants it
5. Jack Hunt - keep, 1 year
6. Waldock - release
7. Alex Hunt - keep, 2-3 year deal
8. Luongo - keep for another year, unless he gets injured again
9. Paterson - undecided, top man who does a job wherever he’s asked but he’ll be on decent money and could it be used better elsewhere?
10. Adedoyin - keep, 1 year deal with an extension and send him on loan to see what he can do
11. Berahino - release

Keep Brennan and Dunkley, the rest can go.

[TodwickOwl]

Brennan Dunkley and Luongo

[CircleSeven]

All depends on if we go up or not really. If we go up I’d like to think we could keep Luongo. If not he’ll be off for sure. As for the rest I’d keep Dunkley, Brennan and Paterson regardless of the division. If we don’t go up I’d keep Jack Hunt for another year and probably Alex Hunt as well. 

[S72 Owl]

If we’re still in league 1 I’d try and keep;

Wildsmith (loan out with a recall option)

J. Hunt

Brennan

Dunkley

A. Hunt

Luongo (if he stays fit)

Paterson 

 

 

[S36 OWL]

Keep

 

 

Jack Hunt 

Brennan

Dunkley 

Loungo 

 

Ditch the rest

Think for some unfathomable reason Hutchinson has already been given a contract extension beyond end of the season.

Release Loungo, not value for money. I'm not disputing he is not a good player, but in his time here , he has not been on the pitch nowhere enough for a new deal.

The thing is, after this 3 game suspension, he will have missed something like 19 games this season. If we keep him, it has to be on reduced wages, because his game return since he arrived has been absolutely shocking and i'm sure we can pick up just as good a player that is younger and less likely to have such an extensive injury record.

A few people seem not bothered if Patterson went which amazes me. 

[DobbinTheDonkey]

Keep Paterson, a player that can fill in in just about any position. 

He's looked decent in a back 3, the push that resulted in a wonder goal apart.

I think the team will look very different next season should we remain in League 1? There would have to be changes if we go up. I just think in general the changes we’ve seen since the summer is just the start.

Paterson will always give nothing less than 100% on the pitch and he comes across as one of the most likeable players we’ve had in a long while, but he’ll be on a decent wage and you wonder if we could use that money elsewhere more effectively. I’d be happy for him to stay though, if the deal is right

Agree with all of that.

Really? You’re sure? Not a chance we will get as good a player as Luongo. I do understand what you’re saying about his injury record though.

[beswetherick]

Luongo’s a tricky one. Red card aside, he’s been very good since coming back from injury and we’ve looked much better as a team for his return.
 

But… his injury record can’t be ignored, and he’ll be on a decent wedge too. If he gets another injury which keeps him out for a while between now and the end of the season then it’s thanks and goodbye for me - it’d be a shame to lose a player of his quality but he’s no good to us on the treatment table

I agree except Luongo, been injured for 14 of 20 games this season now suspended for probably 3 more. Last season played just 12 out of 46 games.

 

we need rid of crocks, we need players who can play 40+ games a season not break after a dozen.

Your probably right. I suspect it’s academic anyway as I expect to see him on a plane to Oz once his contract runs out.
